How long do you hold a machine

[SIGNGUY]

I think your right pat,
especially if the buyer has no money invested in it at this time... it's yours, and yours to do what you want to do with it..

I agree that is just disrespectful.

I say it is yours. You have tried many many times to contact him. I have a sign for one of the members on here that I am fighting to get from a former restorer of mine and I keep that memember in the loop of what is going on. No contact means your machine.

Can Jim get you info or a number for this person?...Sounds like he hasn't been on since you got it for him...
How can you tell if he's even getting your PMs? You could send a thousand
but if he can't get them that's useless.... Don't you know his name and location?
How did you set this up without knowing each other?
call information and talk directly to him.

I still have a machine I sold a guy last August.... I'm gonna haul
it to the Chicago show to a friend who will haul it the rest of the
way to him... I've contacted him and he's been busy... but does business
with this friend of mine so we set it all up...

I would talk in person to him... something could be wrong...

Well here is his last post .

If anyone wants this machine you can have it I am still on the mend do to a setback and cant pickup but the owner needs it gone from his porperty so if anyone here in MI wants it let me know. I paid for it, but at this point I just want it to not be junked so I would rather see someone get it then a landfill.)

     And he has my number and my personal e mail address  . I do know his name                 
and location.
I have gone out of my way to contact him and and made the drive  From the Lansing area
down to the Detroit area  when Gas was up to $3 buck a gallon , Then there is his last message (above)  and I even made the offer to take it to him and he said  No.

And like I said I'm out of room (storage  area )there and I'm sticking them at my office which is not a good thing right now and I have one more machine that will be showing up in a week or two.

So now there is more info . the same qestion applies.

Pat,
It sounds to me like he didn't want the machine at all! He was just saying it is paid for and whoever wants it - take it before it gets junked.
I would just do what you want with it and hopefully get your gas money back.
Good Luck!

Him saying “If anyone wants this machine you can have it” and him telling you
not to bring it to him is a good sign that he doesn't want it... Looks like you got a
machine for just going and picking it up.... SCORE!
Now work on your brother-in-law for more space!

That changes things, It's yours for the taking.

Pat,
I'd think that it is your machine at this point. But, I'm not an attorney. Start a file with the details (CYA). I'll testify if need be. Just cost ya a burger and coke at the MI. Mafia hangout :-).
